1777 Walk in Canterbury England Illustrated Cathedral Castle MAP Monks Gostling

1777 Walk in Canterbury England Illustrated Cathedral Castle MAP Monks Gostling

William Gostling was an 18^th-century English historian who is primarily remembered for his history of Canterbury. As a native of Canterbury, Gostling had a first-hand perspective of the city and its environs. In this history, “A Walk in and About the City of Canterbury”, Gostling focuses heavily on the iconic structures including Canterbury Castle, Church of St. Martin, St. Augustine’s Monastery and Abbey, Canterbury Cathedral, and many others. Gostling also offers an interesting perspective on the 1174 fire of the cathedral, which is often thought to have been deliberately begun by monks!

This desirable 1777 edition includes 24 full-page engravings including numerous views of the cathedral and a folding map of the city!
